Why this number

What lifts the estimate and what holds it back

Helps

Niche: Business

$3 to $15 per 1,000 views

$0typical $7$20

Long videos in this niche typically pay about $7 per 1,000 views to the creator. We are not sure about the niche, so the range is wider.

Helps

Where viewers likely are

95% of US ad rates

0%US rates

Based on the channel's language and country (English, based in CA). Ads pay far more in the US, UK, Canada and Australia than elsewhere.

Holds back

Mostly Shorts views

62% of views this month

Long 38%Shorts 62%

Shorts pay about $0.18 per 1,000 views, a small fraction of long videos, so the same views earn much less.

Holds back

Videos under 8 minutes

median 4 min

0 min8 min mark20 min

Below 8 minutes YouTube only shows ads before and after, so each view pays less.

Neutral

Upload pace: steady

Median views of the last 10 long videos compared with the 10 before them.

Neutral

Old videos still bring views

1.5M views a month

Uploads older than three years, and the ones we did not read, keep getting watched. We count them at half their lifetime average pace, a conservative guess, capped by the channel's lifetime average.

How we got this. Views from the last 30 days are rebuilt from each public video's views and age, cut to the views YouTube pays on, then priced with niche, audience and video length ad rates from published creator data. We run this 2,000 times with realistic variation and show the middle half. Data read November 8, 2026, 18:00 UTC.
